Don Taft University Center

The Don Taft University Center is a large university building at Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale that serves multiple purposes for the campus community. It houses the Rick Case Arena for sporting events and performances, along with academic and artistic facilities.

The building opened in August 2006 following two years of construction and represented a major development for the campus. The opening celebration marked an important milestone in the university's expansion and investment in student facilities.

The Arts Wing houses performance spaces and exhibition areas where students regularly present their work. These rooms serve as gathering places for theatrical productions and art displays created by the university community.

The center is easily accessible from I-595 and University Drive, with parking available in a garage near the main entrance. Plan your visit around event schedules, as crowds may be heavier during sports matches and performances.

A notable feature is a three-story marine life mural created by artist and scientist Guy Harvey that spans a large interior wall. The facility also houses a specialized HydroWorx aquatic therapy pool, one of few such medical treatment spaces in the area.
